Lively Automotive Service Technology Apprenticeship | Proctor Dealerships Employment

Start your Career as an Automotive Tech in Tallahassee, FL
with Lively Technical College & The Proctor Dealerships

Did you know, the State of Florida offers an apprenticeship program for Automotive Service Technology students at Lively? This means that while the state pays tuition for apprentices in the program, they can also earn a wage working in their future fields – all from Day One!

In 2019, the Proctor Dealerships became the first dealer group in Florida to partner with the state on the Lively Tech apprentice program for Automotive Service Techs. This partnership allows apprentices to work alongside experienced and credentialed technicians in our service departments, while having their tuition paid by the state.
